TROUBLE IN AN AFRICAN CHURCH.

THE PASTOR AND THE TRUSTEES AT LOGOER- 1IEADS NO SERVICE TO-DAY. Zion'a AfricaDf Methodist Episcopal Church on Montnouth-ttreet, Jersey City, became locally fa mous under the ministrations of Br ther Oliver. Whan he retired, the Rev. Mr. Griffiths, a West Indian, became the Pastor.

He la a dlgnifiea, scholarly gentleman, and, soon after his aistrations began. waa brought to public notice by a confectioner's refusal to allow blm to eat Ice-cream in hla enloon. Hit flock stood handsomely by him la his dispute with the saloon-keeper, but now there is trouble in tbe church, and tbe parson and his parishioners are The Trustees of tbe church say that be is toe dictatorial and overlx-arlng. The particular occasion 'of the-diacord la a difference between them and the Pastor over the management of the Sunday-school, and the appointment of tbe tenchcrs. The Trustees wanted to have their wav about these two matters, and the Kev.

Mr. GrtfUths wanted to have hla. Tbe Tru.iteea resigned, aad a meeting was held Friday night to take action on ti.e resignations. They aay they cannot work in harmony with the Kev. Mr.

Griffiths, that he is not discharging his pastoral duties in accordance with their church discipline, and thr.t he Is disorganizing and injuring the church. While tbe meeting was in piogresa. tbey say the Rev. Mr. Griffiths, aecing that the current of sentiment waa against him, tried to break up the meeting by threatening to put oat the lights and to aend for a policeman.

The meeting waa continued, however, till it was regularly ad', journed. After a long dtsraalon, the Trustees were teqnested to withdraw their resignations, and to serve out their respective terms. Those opposed to tbe Pastor say that charge will be preferred against him tafore the Board of Klders of tbe African Methodist Episcopal Conference. The Kev. Sir.

Orifflths, the Pastor states that the trouble Is principally in relation to the manner in which business haa been conducted by the Hoard of Trustees. Ha found everything at loose ends 110 accounts, no register of n- arriattes, deaths, or baptism eolieetious were made, and the Trustees took charge of the money and expended it as tbey pleased without any aceountabiKtv. The church was in debt and money waa raised on that account, but It went la soma way or other and tbe debt was not lessened. He attempted to introduce something like order and system into the affairs of the church and be met with opposition from all the Trustees. In order that a clear undemanding talent be reached if possible, he called a meeting of the Trustees on Thursday evening.

Kx-Mavor Jamea O. Gopiill, Charles A. Verrirgton, and persons of prominence 1 were present to see what eould be done In the matter. Mr. Gopaill aatd that money enough had been contributed to build a new ebnrcb.

and the people were weary of giving only to ree the money 'wasted. Either the board must resign, or Mr. Griffiths, in consideration of bis own dignity, must retire. The members of the board who were present at once agreed to resign, and did ao lit writing. Yesterday a meeting was to have been held to complete the work and elect a new Board of 'Unatecs.

But when Ur. Griffiths went to the church he found it closed. Tbe three Trustees who had not already resigned did not appear, and there waa ao meeting. Later in tbe day, Mr, Griffitba waa Informed that they would not resign, a id that the old board had been reinstated. The Paator being determined that eome sort of discipline should be maintained, consulted Counselor A.

S. Cloke. who waa of opinion that the being in proper forma, the Trustees, at least those of them who had re-ticned. were withoat authority. Mr.

GriCiths then determined to exercise the power vested in blm as Elder, and accordingly gave notice to his parishioners that be should not preach again, nor should the church be open for divine service nntll tbe rules ot the church were obeyed and a new Board of Trustees elected. There will be no service to-day. A tiLU-COSFESSKh EMBEZZLED. AFTER WAITING HIS PLUJlDEa HE 6CRRES- DERS HIMSELF TO ESCAPE STARVATION. Thomas Stephen Sandland, an Englishman, 29 yearaof age.

THE CENTRAL PARK BURSS. CASTIXO OF THE BROXZE IS MB JOHN STEILL'S FOUNDRY AT IDrSfBCKOH. From the Edinburgh Sottman, Xor. 5. Yesterday afternoon, at Sir John Steelfe foundry.

Grove-street, Edinburgh, there were made soma Important eastings for the statue ot Robert Barns, commissioned seme time ago, as a eomoaaioa to the Pcott, in the Central Park of New-York. The operation was carried out ia presence of Mr. W. R. AlcDlarmid and Mr.

Duncan.of the Crown Office, who, when the commission waa given, were appointed, in conjunction with the late Lord Ardmtllan. as a committee to watch over its execution. So far as could be judged from the behavior of the molds. aa the molten bronze was poured Into them, the. casting seemed to be successfully aeeomptlanea, though, of course, tbe reault cannot be actually seen nntil the metal has bad time to cool, r-everal years have now elapsed aince tbe replica of hir John teell well known Seott atatne was placed ia a cob-aplcuoua nositlon in the New-York park.

It would seem to have been tbe general appreciation of that masterly work which suggested the desirableness of procuring a similar memorial of Barns and no sooner had thla project taken shape than the promoters, by general consent, resolved to intrust its execution to tbe same well-tried hand, whffe paying the sculptor the flattering compliment of leaving him carte hianche In regard to the character of his design. Scarcely hsd Sir John got tbe proposed statna into shape when a committee, which bad been formed with the view of commemorating the national bard in Dundee, visited the studio for tbe purpose of consulting with him as to the commission tbey were prepared to offer. An opportunity having been afforded them of inspecting tbe model in progress, they at once decided that a duplicate of this would best meet the wishes of their constituents. The New-York'' committee was ao-cordingly communicated with, and its consent having been handsomely accorded, tbe sculptor was requested to produce the desired replica, for which a site ha been prepared in front of the Albert Institute. In framing tbe design, whieh is carried out on the colossal scale suited to out-of-doors statnary, Sir John steel 1 had specially lniew the attractive phase of Haras mature suggested tn the account given by ilrn.

Hums to Mr. AlcDlarmid, (the father of the gentleman above mentioned) of the composition of Mary iu Heaven. On the occasion in question the poet had sought seclusion by withdrawing to bis stackyard, where he was observed, now walking about as If in great agitation, anon reclining on a heap of straw, as If in rapt contemplation of a star. It is in the latter attitude tbat the sculptor has represented him The figure is supported by the stump of- an elm tree, the face turned, as It were, to the lower sky, and tbe limbs so disposed as to snzgest that relaxation of the muscles which would naturally accompany deep mental abstraction. In the features the artist has sought to express the sentiment of enthusiastls tenderness which inspired one of the most pathetic, aa it is undoubtedly one of tbe most popular, of Burns immortal lyrics.

In the easting of the work, precedence is. of course, given to the claims of New-York; but the replica for Dundee la also being proceeded will be forthcoming in due time. DISASTERS TO VESSELS. WRECKS ALONG THE COAST AN ABANDONED VESSEL BROUGHT TO PORT. Philaiiklphia, Nov.

VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS PROSPISOVB The annual report of the Inspector of Finance, the Hon.

W. II. DuBola, of West Randolph, hae ya oeeo issued, showing tbe condition of savings banks and trust companies on the 1st day ol last July. They are all sound sad prosperous. There has not been a fail are, a defaleailoa, nor a serious run during tbe year.

There has been an increase ol deposits to the amount -of nearly $50,000. The total amount to the credit of depositors was a trifle over $9,000,000, of whlsh about $5,250,000 belonged to residents la the rjtate. The average to each was $247 40 a decrease ot $11 70 daring the year. There has beea aa in create of small deposits to the-number ot 1,082 tbat is, of those depositing less than $250. This shows tbat the savings banks are performing tbetr true function i as custodians of the funds ot the laboring ejdssee, rather than aa financial areata for tbe wealthy and speculative.

Most of the basks have paid dividends, and yet the total surplus Is upward ofi $312,000. lA good many bave been obliged to take mora ori leas real aetata on mortgages. the aggregate of i thla being snore than $125. OOO greater than the year before. Tbe total expenses of all the 21 eompanlea and basks waa a trifle In exeesa of $45,000, or nearly $2,000 less than tbe year before.

The Ibspeetor estimates that, under tbe new law for taking these institutions, tome $32,000 will be 'derived annually, about $20,000 of whieh will be paid to towns where the depositors reside, and the remainder, being the tax on deposits of nen residents, will go to the Slate Treasury. REMARKABLE AURORAL DISPLAY. An extraordinary display of 1 the aurora bo real is which appeared on the 26th of September last year, at Cape On man. where Prof. Nordenskjftld was detained.

Is thus described by Lieut. Howgaard, In one of his letters to the DagUfd: "About 1 o'clock at night a flame began to ascend from the aorthera horiron. Its centra being due north. It waa followed by several others, wblcn siowly approached the to-nith, losing gradually something ot tbetr Intensity, which, however: they recovered when they disappeared toward the southern horizon. Tha flames were perfectly; white, and 1 the heavens ware soon covered with flaming arches, wkieh presented a splendid appearaaee against tbe dark sky, in whieh tne stars shone brilliantly.

Toward midnight tbe phenomena beeame more disturbed, in a large broad band which passed through tha xenith, tbe light, of all the hues ot the rainbow, waved forward and backward, withoat its being possible to say whether the light-waves came from eaat or west: but toward the eact tbe flame was especially flickering, and here a flaming torch rose above the horizon, fiom which Immenae flames of light Issued and again returned. The band suddenly beeame weaker, while the torch, flaming wildly, became larger, and front the zenith a number of light yellow rays shot out la all directions. Tbla lasted about a quarter of an hoar, when tbe former arches reappeared, gradually disappearing toward tbe North Pole. No sound was heard while this startling phenomenon was observed." I TBB BRIEF $TORY OF A KANSAS BORSZ. Frota the AtchUon (Kan.) Chami-ion, Not.

12. Dr. ChaHis was relating- the other day a ttttv gnlar story about what we aril accustomed to cal "Instinct "but! for which "teaaon" would seen: moie descriptive in a horse. Dr. Challls some time ago purchased ahorse from his neighbor in Cant oma Township, Nemaha County Mr.

Benedict. Prom tbe time ot his arrival at the Challls place the horse manifested every symptom of home-sickness, and altbongh the horse is ordiaarlly a social animal, this one proved an exception. He would leave tbt other horses in the large corral and go apart by himself into a smaller corral, where he would stand for boars looking over the fence toward bis former home. He maintained bis position at tbe fence till be wore the bsir off his breast. Whenever aay member of the IHenedict hontenold came near, the horse betrayed lively sues of recognition.

Oae day Mr. Beaedtet himself passed, and the bone beeame almost violent In his xfemonstrations, and shortly after waa missed, and, iwbat was more singular, the gate of the lneloaure was discovered to be missing aiso. Tbe horse was sbon discovered walking up the lane to Mr. Benedict house, and after some search the gate waa found babel ng on the limb ot a tree ia the woods, at a eonsaderab, height above tha ground. Tbe only teasonable theory is.

that the horse, in his determination to follow his former master, had broken through tbe gate and carried It away with him. and bad afterward Ingeniously relieved himself of thetineumbtance. This is a true story. erirs for rvYORCE-is san frascisoo. From the Aon Fmnritea Pott, Nor.
